Summer camp season is officially here! This weekend, Beavers across the County had an amazing time camping outdoors. They made s’mores, put up tents, faced their fears with some climbing, and even learned a few circus skills! And guess what? Even our volunteers had a blast!

Happy Founder's Day! Let's reflect today on how Scouting brought us together to create a better world 💜

Nose-to-nature explorations with Wye Valley Falconry 🦅 Curious Beaver @scouts getting up and close, learning about birds of prey and the history of falconry #SkillsForLife

These colder nights are an excellent opportunity to take some time to explore the night sky! These Beavers from 1st Woodmancote saw plenty of stars, Jupiter, the Moon and even a very faint Saturn #SkillsForLife
